As universities warn that not all students will be able to take up their first choice offer this September, and medical schools report being overwhelmed with calls from students for limited places, some offer holders may have to defer their place to next year’s entry to join their chosen university.

Durham University has even offered bursaries to those willing to defer their place for a year.

We’d like to speak to students for whom deferral is not possible. Perhaps you are unable to live at home for a year, or are concerned you won’t be able to find a job to support yourself before university.
